So, something else to keep an eye out for when I'm ordering my comics.
Oh, and remember when I was talking about not minding dead comic characters being brought back to life? Here's a quote from the interview with Ross that relates to that:
That's the thing I hate about a lot of deaths in comic book publishing. I understand the drama related to some of those deaths, but in the real world we cannot control life and it's this fragile thing we loose so often. When you have a fictional world where all these toys in the toy box can be played with, why in the world would you limit yourself? Certainly we can create metaphors for the cruelty and sadness of the real world, but we don't always have to do it with icons there is great attachment to. If you can keep Clark Kent working at the Daily Planet for close to 70 years, then you can keep other likewise characters timeless and, honestly, in many ways, generations of people tied into the same communal source of entertainment.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Beautifully put.
